[RESEND PATCH] bloat-o-meter: Support comparing library archives

From: Nikolay Borisov
Date: Wed Jun 03 2020 - 06:35:20 EST


Library archives (.a) usually contain multiple object files so their
output of nm --size-sort contains lines like:

<ommitted for brevity>
00000000000003a8 t run_test

extent-map-tests.o:
<ommitted for brevity>

bloat-o-meter currently doesn't handle them which results in errors
when calling .split() on them. Fix this by simply ignoring them. This
enables diffing subsystems which generate built-in.a files.
